5.1.2. Filtration
icon
Always close the filter cover after the necessary oper-
ations have been performed, to prevent algae growing
on the filters due to their exposure to direct light.
will
Aquarium water, to provide the best habitat for fish and plants, must
be filtered continuously with mechanical, biological and chemical
filtration.
Mechanical filtration, which uses double layer sponges, removes
suspended particulates to keep the water clear. You can always
check the degree to which the sponges are soiled by simply opening
the filter cover.
Biological filtration, done by the nitrifying bacteria which grow in
the pores of the ceramic cylinders, minimises the level of toxic chem-
icals in the water, which are harmful for the aquatic fauna, transform-
ing the ammonia produced by the fish into nitrates. It takes around
4 weeks for a sufficient amount of bacteria for effective purification
to develop in the filtration media. This is why the first month of the
aquarium's life is critical, and the fish should be added only gradually,
to allow the nitrifying bacteria to take hold and multiply to a suitable
level.
Chemical filtration is done by the 3ACTION cartridge, which con-
tains a special mix of three ingredients:
• Activated carbon for purifying the previously filtered water from
bad odours, colourants, pharmacological residues and other un-
desired compounds.
